  • Wasn't this rejected once already? Perhaps if they wanted to do something useful, they should pass something that says that if something is majority disliked twice or something, then it should be withdrawn and not proposed again for at least 100 years.

  • The absolute worst customer service I ever had was with AT&T and eventually I just told them to go stuff themselves. I switched carriers to Ting before it was owned by Dish and it was known around the industry for its customer service and it was absolutely fantastic.

  • My question would have to be, was this person attempting to get a loan for the house? Because if so, I can understand where they would need financial statements and identification. But if the person walked in with the cash to buy the place, free and clear, then I don't see why it should be a problem.

  • That's okay. Things will be purchased as they are needed. It's not like because we used gold. I wouldn't need toilet paper or a new laptop or a new phone. I would still need to purchase those things at some point. It would improve lending practices as well because people wouldn't be lending trying to outpace inflation with a return. They would lend less, for sure, but people would also save money more so they would need fewer loans.

  • But inflation doesn't have to be a thing. Currentsies don't have to inflate. Back in Rome, you could buy a tailored suit and a pair of shoes for a ounce of gold. Today, you can go by a tuxedo and a pair of shoes for an ounce of gold. So in terms of gold, the price of items has not changed significantly in a very, very long time.

  • A combination of things, some real estate, some gold, some cryptocurrency. The dollar is losing value every second of every day by at least a little bit. And I don't see a reason to hold wealth in a depreciating asset. It's just a form of tax that all normal people have to pay while people who have assets don't have to. Which is why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Stop the inflation and you stop the impoverishment.

  • I mean, this seems like a subgroup of a subgroup. However, I can at least sympathize with their points about no longer wishing to be under the yoke of the United States dictatorship. We're not there yet, but that's damn sure where we're headed.

    Edit: Personally, I am doing my part by no longer seeing their money as valuable and trading that shit for something real as soon as I get a hold of it and only keeping enough of it around to pay for something I need from some fool in an emergency.

  • I'm going to answer the last part of the question, banks and credit unions and these institutions absolutely can, will, and do limit withdrawals. When you don't physically hold your money and it is in an institution, it is no longer your money, it is an IOU with conditions that can be rescinded at any time for any reason.
